The Tchibo GmbH Sustain­ability Report 2017 was audited by the independent auditing company Ernst & Young GmbH for compliance with the Independent Economic Advisory Board (ISAE) 3000 (Limited Assurance) standard. The audit examined selected management approaches, infor­mation on the materi­ality analysis and deter­mi­nation of the material topics of the report and two key perfor­mance indicators (KPIs) from our strategic action areas: the coffee value chain and consumer goods value chain. The audited data is accord­ingly labelled in the text, in the GRI Content Index and in the Overview of Key Indicators.
